Why do people bond nowadays? I don't really know. I know why I bonded but that's another story. It's down there.
If you are bonded - why? Yes I am. I have been bonded four times. OK, the first two were about a year ago and they have now both left the site. I still keep in touch with them, one via email and the other via email and telephone. They're good friends of mine. We got along really well while they were on the site and I enjoyed talking to them. The other two were recent. One was two months ago, and the other was just yesterday. Why did I bond? I get along with both of them and they're very nice. It's nice to have a sorta extra sign of your friendship.
If you are not bonded - why not?
My thoughts on bonding - i am free and will never be shackled to anyone!!! Never! Good for you.
